Solos look very smart - with the introduction of the new Enviro 200s i would of thought they might of used some of the old solos replaced by the SR/Enviro 200s

All of the Solo SRs from the purple routes have gone to replace older Solos on Network Navy and Go2 Uni Pink. I think the original plan was for the solos to be leased but they unusually bought them, NCT are not known for buying second hand!

I think part of the reason for this may be their power; there are some big hills on the route, Premiere had a 10' plate Enviro200 branded for the route but it couldn't be used because it wasn't powerful enough, though that could just be down to their poor maintainance!

Anyway, here's a picture of 144 on Sky Blue line 47 and 147 which is a network spare on Yellow Line route 71. Both photos © Ben Bull
